In the context of an aging society,the number of elderly cancer patients is constantly increasing,and geriatric oncology has garnered significant attention in recent years.Given the heterogeneity in the health status of older patients,it has become increasingly important to provide individualized diagnosis,treatment,follow-up,and care.Thus,it must be emphasized the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment(CGA)for elderly patients,which encompasses their physical function,nutritional status,cognitive function,emotional state,comorbidities,polypharmacy,social situation,and treatment preferences.This article provides consensus recommendations on CGA tools for elderly patients prior to anticancer treatment,offering valuable references and insights for clinical practice in China.

The eutR gene deletion mutant of Salmonella enteritidis was successfully constructed by homologous recombination.Through the study of its biochemical characteristics,motility,resist-ance to stress in vitro and survival ability in RAW 264.7 cells,it was found that the biochemical characteristics and motility of the eutR gene deletion mutant of Salmonella enteritidis had no sig-nificant change compared with the wild type of Salmonella enteritidis.The ability of eutR gene de-letion strain of Salmonella enteritidis to resist acid,alkali and oxidation was significantly reduced,while the ability to resist heat was not significantly changed;the survival ability of eutR gene dele-tion strain in RAW 264.7 cells was significantly reduced compared with the wild type.In order to further analyze the effect of eutR gene on the expression of virulence factors of Salmonella enterit-idis,the relative expression levels of invH,ssav,ssrA,xthA,orf245,sodC,lrp,mrr1 and hflk virulence genes of the deletion strain and the wild strain were detected by SYBR Green PCR.It was found that the expression of the virulence factors mentioned above in the eutR gene deletion strain of Salmonella enteritidis was significantly down-regulated compared with that in the wild-type strain.The LD50 of the eutR gene-deleted strain of Salmonella enteritidis was determined by ani-mal experiments,and the results showed that the LD50 of the eutR gene-deleted strain was higher than that of the wild-type strain,indicating that the eutR gene could affect the virulence of Salmonella.This study clarified the effect of eutR gene on the survival ability,some biological characteristics and virulence of Salmonella enteritidis in macrophages,and provided a new gene knockout target for the development of attenuated Salmonella enteritidis genetic engineering vac-cine.

Objective To observe the value of MRI combined with serum carbohydrate antigen 125(CA125)and human epididymis protein 4(HE4)for differential diagnosis of type Ⅰ and Ⅱ epithelial ovarian cancers(EOC).Methods Totally 87 EOC patients were retrospectively enrolled.According to pathology,35 cases of type Ⅰ EOC were taken as type Ⅰ group,while 52 cases of type Ⅱ EOC were taken as type Ⅱ group.Conventional MRI manifestations and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)value of lesions,as well as CA125 and HE4 were compared between groups,and their efficacy for differential diagnosis of type Ⅰ and Ⅱ EOC were analyzed.Results Significant differences of conventional MRI manifestations of lesions,including composition,mural nodules,peritoneal diffusion and lymph node metastasis,of ADC value of lesions,also of patients'CA125 and HE4 were found between groups(all P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of conventional MRI manifestations and ADC value of lesions,patients'CA125 and HE4 for distinguishing typeⅠ and type Ⅱ EOC was 0.694,0.730,0.670 and 0.708,respectively,while of the combination of the above four was 0.865,higher than that of each one alone(Z=3.008,2.138,3.005,2.746,all P＜0.05).Conclusion MRI combined with CA125 and HE4 was helpful for differential diagnosis of type Ⅰ and Ⅱ EOC.

Objective:To investigate the status of cognitive function in patients with acute cerebral infarction after intravenous thrombolysis, and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From August 2020 to December 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 100 patients with cognitive impairment after intravenous thrombolysis for acute cerebral infarction admitted to the Department of Neurology of Shaoxing People's Hospital as the research object. The patients were followed up three months after intravenous thrombolysis. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Scale and Self-made Cognitive Motor Training Compliance Scale and Exercise Training Compliance Scale were used to evaluate the cognitive function recovery and training compliance of the patients. Univariate analysis of variance and Logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of cognitive function in patients with acute cerebral infarction after intravenous thrombolysis. A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed, 100 valid questionnaires were recovered with the recovery rate of 100%.Results:Three months after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute cerebral infarction, there were 85 patients with good cognitive function and 15 patients with abnormal cognitive function. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that combined with hypertension, combined with abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores, thrombolysis time, infarct site, compliance with cognitive training and motor training were risk factors for cognitive function of patients with acute cerebral infarction after intravenous thrombolysis ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Cognitive function of patients with acute cerebral infarction after intravenous thrombolysis is related to hypertension, abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism, NIHSS score, thrombolysis time, infarct location, and compliance cognitive with training, motor training. Ultra-early intravenous thrombolysis can protect cognitive function in patients with acute cerebral infarction. It is recommended to strengthen the prevention and control of the above risk factors and carry out early cognitive training and motor training to promote the early recovery of patients.

Objective:To explore whether working memory span training can expand working memory capacity.Methods:A randomized controlled trial design was adopted and a total of 60 healthy college students were recruited and randomly divided into training group ( n=30, receiving adaptive training of spatial breadth task) and control group ( n=30, receiving non-adaptive training of low difficulty spatial breadth task). The cognitive behavior and event-related potential (ERP) data of all subjects when completing the change awareness task were collected before and after training.The SPSS 22.0 statistical software was used for data analysis. The differences between the training group and the control group before and after training were compared by repeated measurement analysis of variance. Results:Repeated measurement ANOVA showed that there were significant time and group interactions at the levels of cognitive behavior(K score, F=5.352, P=0.025) and ERP (CDA, F=4.644, P=0.037) levels. Further post test found that compared with pre-training (pre-test), the K-score ((0.51±0.93), (1.61±1.07), F=26.81, P<0.001) and CDA ((-1.49±1.07)μV, (-2.03±0.94)μV, F=4.731, P=0.041) of the training group increased significantly after training (post-test), and there was no significant difference in K-score and CDA of the control group before and after training (boh P>0.05). Conclusion:Working memory span task can be used as an effective training paradigm to improve working memory capacity.

Objective:To explore the transfer effect of working memory span task training on n-back task and its accordant brain mechanism.Methods:First, a randomized controlled experiment was carried out in 60 college students.The training group ( n=30) received adaptive training on a working memory span task and the control group ( n=30) received low difficulty repeated practice.The difference on 2-back task between the two groups at posttest and pretest was compared.Next, 60 college students who received adaptive training were divided into high transfer group ( n=30) and low transfer group ( n=30) according to their improvement median on 2-back task.The differences of brain activation across the whole brain between the two groups at posttest and pretest were compared. Results:Compared with before training, the accuracy of the 2-back task in the training group increased significantly after training( F=21.45, P<0.001), in which the training group increased by (0.15±0.18). While the control group increased by (0.03±0.17), and the difference was not significant( F=0.99, P=0.327). Compared with the low transfer group, the activation of the right striatum in the high transfer group increased significantly (corrected P=0.028). There was a significant correlation between the change of striatum activation and the change of 2-back task accuracy ( R2=0.084; F=5.21, P=0.025). Conclusion:The working memory span training effect can be transferred to n-back task, and the striatum plays an important role in this transfer effect.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of diabetic retinopathy(DR)and diabetic nephropathy(DN)and their correlation. Methods All of 9237 hospitalized type 2 diabetes patients from January 2004 to June 2009 were collected. The prevalence and clinical of characteristics of DR and DN as well as their relationship were analyzed. Results The total prevalence of DR was 33.0%(3045/9237),and the prevalence of DR in the microalbuminuria, macroproteinuria and macroalbuminuria combined with renal dysfunction patients were 36.3%(588/1618),53.7%(1113/2074)and 70.7%(1206/1706)respectively.The prevalence of DN was 58.4%(5398/9237). Compared with that in the diabetes patients without DR, the levels of microalbumin and total protein in the urine were higher in the patients with moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy(NPDR), serious NPDR and proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR), but the endogenous creatinine clearance rate was lower(P＜ 0.05). According to the non-conditional Logistic regression model,the risk factors of DR included diabetes duration,urinary protein,fibrinogen, C-reactive protein and peripheral neuropathy, and the risk factors of DN included diabetes duration, HbA1c, systolic blood pressure,urinary protein,low density lipoprotein and DR. Conclusions DR and DN are the chronic microvascular complications in the type 2 diabetes and have higher prevalence. There are good correlations between DR and DN.

Improving stress tolerance of the microbial producers is of great importance for the process economy and efficiency of bioenergy production. Key genes influencing ethanol tolerance of brewing yeast can be revealed by studies on the molecular mechanisms which can lead to the further metabolic engineering manipulations for the improvement of ethanol tolerance and ethanol productivity. Trahalose shows protective effect on the cell viability of yeast against multiple environmental stress factors, however, further research is needed for the exploration of the underlying molecular mechanisms. In this study, the promoter region of the trehalose-6-phosphate synthase gene TPS1 was cloned from the self-flocculating yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae flo, and a reporter plasmid based on the expression vector pYES2.0 on which the green fluorescence protein EGFP was directed by the TPS1 promoter was constructed and transformed to industrial yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC4126. Analysis of the EGFP expression of the yeast transformants in presence of 7% and 10% ethanol revealed that the P(TPS1) activity was strongly induced by 7% ethanol, showing specific response to ethanol stress. The results of this study indicate that trehalose biosynthesis in self-flocculating yeast is a protective response against ethanol stress.
